Man pays £1,950 for beer dash taxi

A man paid for a cab to drive 1,500 miles to a German beer festival after he missed the last flight to join his pals on his stag-do

Oddly the man, known only as Dave, had not already been drinking when he agreed to the £1,950 cost for the journey.

Cabbie Mick Hogan from Portsmouth said he could not believe it when the man  told him he needed to get to Oktoberfest in Munich.

He told the punter it would cost £1,700, plus £250 for the Channel Tunnel and a hotel for the night and was shocked when he agreed.

The cab driver says he would not like make the journey everyday but being paid £2,000 to go to a beer festival is never a bad start to a weekend.
They drove through France, Belgium and Luxembourg arriving in Munich, Germany, 17 hours after Dave missed the last flight.

Mick did not need to wait for Dave as he already had his ticket for the return flight. Imagine how red-faced he would be if he also missed that plane and needed another cab ride.
